A must have but is it controversial??

Always have this in my handbag and the flavoured options smell soo good!!! Is the perfect temporary wound cover or lip balm if I don't have anything else. Also good for protecting cuticles and any scratches that you have.
Very inexpensive and a little goes a long way so its very versatile and perfect for pretty much anybody. It does have a bit of an oily texture and takes a bit of time to sink in but overall it is a good product
There has been some controversy around it though as it may be harmful to the skin and block the natural skin barrier and pores from 'breathing' naturally.

Ideal For...:

wounds, dry skin, dry and chapped lips and pretty much anything!!

!

This is a bathroom cabinet staple for me. I think it is perfect come winter when chapped lips and dry noses are all through the household.

Smother a generous amount on just before going to bed and you will find your skin much improved come the morning.

Also the lack of fragrance and colouring means all the family can use it - even the men folk!

I would highly recommend you get some in your cabinets!

Any Tips?:

Apply thickly at nighttime for a great rehydration.

Ideal For...:

Dry cracked and sore skin

The perfect moisturiser!

I class this product in the category of the PERFECT face and body lotion!! I personally apply The vaseline intensive care W/ petroleum jelly after my shower. It acts as an occlusive moisturizer and prevents my skin from drying out. I also use it when myself or my child has a dry nose during a cold and the allergy season.
I also get really dry cracked heals from wearing things all the time so I use it to put on them .. I just put my feet in warm water with some salt, towel-dry and apply petroleum jelly and clean cotton socks.. It works wonders & is so relieving!

Any Tips?:

For any green thumbs - apply some petroleum jelly and a clean pair of gloves to help lock in moisture and accelerate healing.

Ideal For...:

Almost anything! There are so many uses!

Intense Moisturised

Vaseline Intensive Moisturiser is part of all family homes for as long as I can remember. It has a variety of uses from cracked, chipped lips to dry elbows and knees. I don't know one single home that doesn't have a tub in their medical cabinet. It has no scent so perfect with all skin conditions. It does come as like a thick buttery consistency so this does make washing it off difficult if you put on alot but more is less with this stuff. Good for moisturising dry areas on the very young like babies all the way to the elderly

Any Tips?:

Keep the lid on when not in use

Ideal For...:

Carry in your purse or hidden in the medical case for instant hydration,

Too sticky

I also have tried the Vaseline on my face but found it too sticky and it stains the pillow cases. If my young children have a cold though I Mix it with Vicks and rub it on the soles of their feet and put their socks on them when they go to bed and it certainly helps lesson their colds. I have passed this tip onto other mothers and they have told me that it really works.

Any Tips?:

An aunt of mine who suffered with sinus and hay fever always put a small amount just inside her nostrils on windy days and said the dust and pollens were trapped by the Vaseline and her condition improved immensely

Ideal For...:

Young and old

Chafing solution

Very versatile cheap product, I live in North Queensland in the tropics. So not only is it hot but it's humid which is worse. When I'd go clubbing I'd wear bandage dresses, which are basically the tightest dress imaginable designed to make your body look good. The humidity and temperature combined with being in a crowded club with body temperature radiating everywhere meant I started chafing as my legs were firmly wrapped together in these tight bandage dresses and clubbing meant a lot of physical activity. The clubs were so hot and humid every girls make up didn't last, it'd just slide off our faces. It got especially bad during the wet season (humidity) to the point I couldn't walk in shorts the day after and I had to wear soft material the next day like pyjamas. I did some research, decided to try this for chafing as it was cheap and honestly it worked wonders. Never happened again, didn't feel oily nothing it would always last allllll night. In a place like North Queensland where heat and humidity are combined to create disgusting hot sweaty atmospheres I was incredibly impressed with the fact it never wore off. Never wore off no matter how much I danced and I dance A LOT.

Ideal For...:

Humid or hot climates

Super versatile!

Vaseline is super versatile and a must-have in any household. It can be used to form a protective barrier on the skin/lips; mixed with some leftover lipstick to make a tinted lipbalm; applied to chafed skin to protect against further damage and more! It is also useful for odd jobs around the house.

A little goes a long way with Vaseline, so the jar lasts a long time. This is a timeless household product for a reason!

A Must Buy!

Vaseline is a product that lives in my bag. I always make sure it is with me as it helps keep my dry lips hydrated and smooth during the winter months. Sometimes I even apply to my cuticles if they are dry and irritated. I really like the thick, sticky consistency. Overall it is one of my all time favs and go to product for dryness and irritated skin.

Staple in my home.

Vaseline is one of those things that is always in my vanity, medicine cabinet at home and hand bag. From putting this on cracked lips, cuticles, feet & hands to soothing a burn to smoothing my eyebrows or flyaways by my face, I love that Vaseline is multiuse and it's safe to do so! Have never had a reaction to using Vaseline. I also like to put a small spoonful with boiling water in my oil burner love the smell going through the house.

Any Tips?:

Adding a spoonful to your oil burner with boiling water.

Ideal For...:

Everything from head to toe and everything in between.

Beauty and skin Staple in any home!

I love this product, it is so versatile and effective. I always have a pot of Vaseline sitting on my night stand I use it in winter on my elbows and knees to stop them from drying out. I also use it on redness, rashes and dry skin. I also use it on my lips before I go to bed and if my lips are chapped the night before they definitely dont feel chapped the morning after.

Ideal For...:

The whole family!

Great for wrinkles

Every night I apply Vaselin Petroleum Jelly under my eyes, on my forehead and neck. This jelly works really well with reducing the wrinkles. During this winter, my skin was bit dry and developed wrinkles so I used this jelly every night. I just use tiny amount of it otherwise this jelly can block pores and may cause skin trouble. I tried different brands' eye cream and honestly they showed any result even though the price is quite high. This is cheap and effective. Try it!

best lip treatment

I only put this on when i go to bed, but boy put a thick coat of this on and you will get soft juicy lips in the morning. Winter here is so dry plus all the heating its just chapped lip central.
I also use paw paw but thats for during the day when i don't want some crazy layer of vaseline on. Paw Paw is wonderful as a lip balm but vaseline is super for night treatment. From memory its like $3 a jar from Coles its the best lip treatment ever.

Best solution for chapped lips!

I have tried EVERYTHING for my perpetually dry lips and have always reverted back to this product. It hydrates and softens my lips like nothing else. Unlike other chap sticks, it does not dry my lips out nor has a bitter aftertaste. Super nourishing and fragrance free, this is now a staple in my skincare routine. I also apply it to my hands when they get super dry and my face sometimes. All in all, a great product that costs a fraction of other lipcare products.

Ideal For...:

Dry chapped lips

So versatile

This is an absolute staple in my bathroom cupboard. It is fantastic for severely dry patches, especially in the winter time, it has definitely gotten my cracked hands through a few winter days. It's also great for covering fresh cuts to help the bleeding stop, for removing makeup, and as a good ol' lubricant. It's also great for rubbing onto squeeky door hinges, and I'm sure that only scratches the surface of it's uses. I will always repurchase.

perfect for everything

I use this on my lips everyday, and nothing else nourishes them as well as vaseline. i find most lip balms or creams make my lips drier and more cracked in the end than making them more soft. except vaseline! this is the one product i have used that keeps them soft for hours later and doesn't dry them out more. I also put it on my fingers if the skin around my nails is dry and cracked.

Any Tips?:

use as lip balm!!

Ideal For...:

lip balm, dry cracked skin

Multi tasking product

This stuff is an essential for me. It has so many uses and is such a versatile product, especially for how affordable it is. I use it for a bunch of different things, including; using it on my eyelashes, as a lip balm, as a face highlighter, mixing it with eyeshadows to make lipsticks and tinted lip balm, putting it on cuts and scrapes to speed up the healing process, using it under my eyes and all over my face to seal in moisture that's underneath, and more!

the question is what DOESN'T it do?

Everyone has a tub of this in their house and probably no idea how versatile it is! My fave uses of this little wonder include:

- rubbing on your pulse points to help your perfume last longer

- mixing with powder pigments to make your own custom lip gloss

- putting some on the back of your heels before wearing new shoes to prevent blisters

- small amount on your leather handbag, shoes etc then buff with soft cloth for instant shine and water protection

Versatile wonder

Ever since I was little I have been using Vaseline for dry lips. Upon getting older, I've come to know the many uses this amazing product can have. I suffer from severe cracked heels and in just a few weeks Vaseline has managed to clear that up. It is also good for your eye lashes, pop some on with a que tip and it makes your lashes look thick and healthy.
I would seriously recommend Vaseline for anyone and one jar can last for years!

Any Tips?:

Just try it

Anyone!

Versatility

How versatile is Vaseline, and not only as a beauty product. One cheap little jar of Vaseline Intensive Care Petroleum Jelly will last for years. I used it regularly on dry lips, rough skin on feet and elbows. I use to when I am tinting my eyebrows to stop the dye from staining my skin. I have used it on exposed skin (neck and face mainly) to stop jelly fish stinging in the ocean. It really can be used to so many things and is a staple on my medicine cabinet.
